Servo Return Spring - Please Help!

Post by Risocco »

Had one of my less than inspired moments and forgotten how this attaches. Pic in Haynes not good really, obviously one end goes on the servo arm, but buggered if I can remember where the other end fits....

Pic shamefully stolen from teh FAQ....

Any help please? :hugegrin:

Right, kinda desperate now chaps. Really can't figure it out, could one of you lovely people look under your bonnet and have a look at yours please? A photo would also be great if at all possible

Cheers all :beers:

Hold spring in left hand with prongs facing away from you and the narrower part of the spring to your left.
Prong on the left hand side is lower and the hooped bend in it is at 90 degrees. This sits over a lug on that flat piece of the bracket you can see running underneath the spring in your picture. It is about underneath where the inner split pin pokes out the back.
The right hand prong which has the hook in line with the metal of the spring is put under tension as you bend it down to hook it into the clevis pin on the back of the servo rod.
You might have to loosen some of the linkage fittings in order to persuade the spring into place.
